Philippine military arrests NPA leader in the hospital

[Davao Today] A New People’s Army leader being treated in a hospital at Don Carlos town in Bukidnon was arrested on Saturday, the Philippine military reported. Military spokesman Ezra Balagtey identified the NPA leader as Elizalde Cañete alias Ka Jinggoy.

Cañete was arrested on May 12 while he was recovering after being injured in a clash with soldiers in Kitaotao, Bukidnon on May 10.

Balagtey said military and police forces served an arrest warrant against Cañete, who is facing charges of multiple murder and arson.

Balagtey said Cañete was first arrested in 2010 in a clash in Montevista, Compostela Valley and was later released on bail in 2013.

The military reported that Cañete replaced the late Leoncio Pitao also known as Comannder Parago as leader of the Pulang Bagani Command 1 of the NPA that operates in the region between Bukidnon, Davao del Norte and the mountainous parts of Davao City.

He looks dreadfully uncomfortable. Let us pray for sepsis.
